A group of new at­tor­neys have been warned against com­pro­mis­ing their in­tegri­ty as they em­bark on their ca­reers in the le­gal pro­fes­sion.

High Court Judge Frank Seep­er­sad gave the ad­vice as he de­liv­ered the fea­ture ad­dress when 60 at­tor­neys were called to the bar dur­ing a cer­e­mo­ny at the Hall of Jus­tice in Port-of-Spain.

Jus­tice Seep­er­sad stat­ed that be­ing ad­mit­ted to prac­tice law is not on­ly the cul­mi­na­tion of aca­d­e­m­ic achieve­ment but the ac­cep­tance of an en­dur­ing pub­lic re­spon­si­bil­i­ty to up­hold the prin­ci­ples that form the ba­sis of the ad­min­is­tra­tion of jus­tice.
